As the tealight begins to glow, this soapstone oil burner turns fragrance into a quiet room ritual. Add water with essential oil, a wax melt, fragrance oil or simmering granules to the top dish, then let the gentle heat soften the scent into the air. The Om motif gives it a contemplative presence, suited to a shelf, side table or meditation corner.

Use it in a well-ventilated room, away from draughts, fabrics and anything heat-sensitive. Let the soapstone cool fully before moving, emptying or cleaning it.
Keeping the stone looking cared for
After use, allow any remaining wax or residue to cool, then remove it gently. Wipe the dish with a soft cloth and avoid soaking the stone, as prolonged damp is not kind to natural…
